Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

And we all know why #Lankum cancelled this tour.

Haven’t been on here in a minute but a lot of people who didn’t know this are finding this out.

Experience with heart breaking poverty at a young ages teaches you that laws are only executable at the discretion of power.

Every time I see someone struggling publicly with addiction I think of the Sacklers and the havoc their legacy still wreaks on the US to this day. People want to blame the rise of visibly struggling people on “deteriorating morals” when is falls squarely on the shoulders of the wealthy.

Someone gave me a sword

By their definition, any notable accomplishment achieved by someone who was not a straight white male -- no matter how or when it happened -- counts as "DEI" and "bias against whites." It's racism, pure and simple. Stop pretending there's anything more complicated at work here. It's racism.

Does anyone who was forced into conversion therapy have any advice on what to say so you can get out?

I know some of these accounts are iffy but I do know for a fact that this one is run by current and recently fired DOL workers, so will be following it closely myself!

So, the story of Hollywood at war was complex. You had Germans like Conrad Veidt and Marlene Dietrich telling Nazis to stuff it, you had Americans like Walt Disney hosting Leni Riefstahl just after Kristallnacht. You had Greta Garbo proclaiming that she would love to assassinate Hitler.

Charlie Chaplin got away with it because he could produce completely independently and was part-owner of United Artists but most of Hollywood went along with the "be nice to Nazis" or at least "don't get graphic" rules in the leadup to WWII.

Book at bat: "How to Find Love in a Fucked Up World," by Dean Spade

I joked the entire time I lay bleeding to death. Ukranian troops made Tik Tok dance videos on the internet. The Civil Rights movement created joyful music and art. Rich fucking white people on the other hand just sitting around lamenting about how terrible the camps will be.

My first collage in many years. Ive been inviting friends over so we can hang out and make art. 🥰 It’s something that’s helped my brain during *gestures around* all this.

Planes will continue to fall from the sky until full wokeness is restored

A beautiful quote from Sam Nordquist’s Tik Tok. No words for the deep well of sadness and anger the community is feeling. Let’s let him speak for himself:

Seattle Mayor & CM Nelson - SODA / SOPA nonsense - purposefully not filling commission seats to harm Social Housing - Slashing tenant services & plan to end renter protections - surveillance tech, blast balls, pepper spray - Jumpstart $$ (affordable housing) went to cops - nimby on zoning maps

...FYI, the VIDEO IS UP! "Debunking Myths About Trans People & Restrooms (& other “sexual predator” tropes)" – if you appreciate it, please share widely & "like" & "subscribe" & such! youtu.be/nK41ePuOmzY

A clear-minded eye to what is u folding. It’s not pretty but I like to have a lay if the land.

other people can fuck with guns, i don’t give a shit about guns, i can cook for, feed and seat at least 20 people in my 1BR apartment if i plan it right, and thats what i focus on

SCOOP: The top US election security watchdog has frozen all of its efforts to aid states in securing elections. The move represents the first major example of the country’s cyber defense agency accommodating Trump’s false claims of election fraud and online censorship.

Y'all gotta get comfortable talking about pornography and defending its right to exist and for people to look at it, even if you don't (but especially if you DO).

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Sometimes if you’re crying while posting you misspell the authors’ name.

The two parties in the US as of 2025: Team Luigi & Team Brandon

“You cannot erase non-binary and transgender people because you give birth to more of us each day” Elsa Shupe

Where’s the astrologer who’s done facebooks chart?

Friendly reminder to turn this monstrosity off that tries to do shit like fully predict your texts for you and comes with the newest iPhone update

everybody recommending proton is "correct" but the org has lurched violently right.

The meme I will print out and carry into the ai mushroom wars of 31:

I'm sad to share that the trans vet that took her life outside the VA last week was apparently Elisa Rae Shupe. She's someone many of us know - she was responsible for the mass email leak that let us know how the ADF, Heritage, etc planned to enact trans eradication we see today. RIP Elisa.

Okay everyone, what are your favorite VPNs and data deletion services? Don’t worry I’m not going away entirely but I just need to be less Known in the way I am.

Now the whole country gets the experience of what it's like when private equity buys the place you work

turns out when transphobes said we need to “follow the science” what they meant is delete it and hide all traces of it

We know the prisons and cop cities they’re building are where they want us to live and how they’re going to train our jailers, right? So do something about those before they happen.

Reconfiguring the US officially as post-government and openly ceding power to the ultra rich - the new kings - is what is happening.

Another way they try to confuse us is with weird wording… But! Vote yes and Vote Prop 1A!!

One thing im hoping for is a return to independent art. Music, imagery, books, clothing, food, all forms of media We're clearly being pushed into a world that seeks to strip fun, color (literally & metaphorically), and joy from us bc corporations want to cave into the whims of white evangelicals

Me: Oh no that trolley is going to run us over! Guy tied up on the track next to me who somehow thinks he's actually the guy holding the lever: Lol cry more 😂

How do we attend to the discomfort of our own uncertainty?

“The present is ugly, the future unwritten. The only way we’ll make it a better one is if we embrace boldness, creativity and, perhaps, a little overconfidence of our own.” Go read this then be bold.

Had an open group chat on zoom that friends from years ago and new ones attended too. We laughed and guffawed and concluded queer and trans people are on this earth to feel joy and so that is the plan, among other things.

If you’re at a table with one Nazi and four regular people talking to him, you’re actually at a table with five Nazis.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without
